PRODIGAL CHILD
Bieber Reportedly Baptized in NY Bathtub

Even if he can’t repair his relationships with tween
fans, Justin Bieber is apparently trying to make
good with the Lord. TMZ is reporting that the pop
singer was reportedly baptized in New York City
in a friend’s bathtub after studying the Bible with
Hillsong New York City pastor Carl Lentz. Bieber
has a fair number of sins to wash clean. Not one
but two videos of Bieber making racist jokes have
leaked in recent weeks. Bieber has apologized,
but many former fans are still fed up with the
notoriously bratty 20-year-old. Mentor Usher
publicly defended the Biebs, saying “What he was
5 years ago was a naive child who did not
understand the negative power and degradation
that comes from playing with racial slurs.” Now,
perhaps, Bieber can count the Almighty and Usher
as allies.
